Like it or not his arrest & prosecution serves as a further distraction from the real roots of the attack. Which we apparently got the better briefing on from the President of Libya.

(CBS News) About 50 arrests have been made in connection with the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi in which the American Ambassador and three other consulate employees were killed, and some of the suspects involved are from outside the country, Libya’s president told CBS News.

In an interview for “Face the Nation” Sunday, President Mohamed Magariaf also said that evidence “leaves us with no doubt” that the attack was pre-planned.

“It was planned, definitely, it was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago, and they were planning this criminal act since their arrival,” he told Bob Schieffer.

On the same program, however, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said the U.S. has no evidence proving that the attacks in Benghazi were premeditated.

It’s quite possible the ‘evidence’ is sufficient for Magarief but doesn’t meet the level for evidence required by the US. Would you rather the US reaction be based on substantive evidence or on conjecture?
